Vertical Farming Facility
Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops in vertically stacked layers. It often incorporates controlled-environment agriculture, which aims to optimize plant growth, and soilless farming techniques such as hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics.
My entry for the Space Jam 12x12 vignette category over on Flickr. I know vertical farms are more 'near-future' than 'science-fiction', but I believe this may be the primary source of farming for humanity someday. If you're curious, go ahead and look up the concept/test facilities already in use, they're amazingly cool!
